Solar Basics
- How home solar worksSolar panels turn sunlight into electricity, an inverter makes it usable in your home, and the grid acts as your backup and battery.
- Is my home a good fit for solar?Roof direction, shade, age and your electric usage all affect how well solar will work for your home.
- Do I need batteries?Batteries are optional. Most homes run grid-tied without them; batteries add backup power during outages at extra cost.
